| To me, communication between people isn't as black and white as you appear
| to be advocating.
Are you at all aware of the insult you have just hurled my way? Damn you.
| It's not the case where it's either "appeal to everyone's sensitivities" or
| "don't appeal to any sensitivities".
I asked whether /my/ sensitivities did not count. Could you please answer
that question and leave the armchair philosophizing to some later time, like
perhaps never? Your selectivity is under question here, not some moronic
universality argument that is so easy to argue against that it is incredibly
hostile of you to assume such a fantastically idiotic argument on my part.
How do you determine whose sensitivity to respect and whose to ignore?

Act from reason, and failure makes you rethink and study harder.
Act from faith, and failure makes you blame someone and push harder.
